And there's no fetches either. Sad face.

Wow, both Oreskos Explorer, Wretched Confluence, and Shielded by Faith are all really cool.
Edit: Missing spoiler cards

Well that was boring!

I'm so sad Blatant Thievery has the same damn ugly-bird art.

At least Wretched Confluence is pretty cool.

Boo to FOUR reprint generals being from RtR block - Zegana, big Teysa, Jarad and Melek. :-(

They look nice, no crazy reprints, but some pretty good ones.

The reprints feel pretty conservative this year. Nothing like Wurmcoil or no Portal reprints like Lu Xun or Hua Tuo. It would have been nice to see Toxic Deluge in the B/W deck, too.

Looks like singles only this year.

Is the highest priced reprint phyrexian arena?

Oreskos Explorer is insane for an uncommon. And for 1W. Not as impressed with Wretched Confluence as others seem to be, but maybe that's because I'm comparing it to Mystic Confluence.

Lightning Greaves in 3 of the 5 decks too.

YES. PHYREXIAN ARENA REPRINT.

*cough* Ok, now that that's out of the way.I'm really happy about these reprints:

Phyrexian Arena (obviously)
Solemn Simulacrum
Rite of Replication
Aura of Silence
Phyrexian Reclamation
Eternal Witness
High Market

Neat reprints:

Dominate
Dragon Mage
Blatant Thievery
Monk Idealist
Eldrazi Monument
Coldsteel Heart
Blasted Landscape
Chameleon Colossus
Bane of Progress

But um..overall...these decks kind of feel really light on nice reprints compared to the previous decks? I don't know, maybe it's just me. There are SO many EDH staples that need reprinting. I'm happy to have gotten Phyrexian Arena and they re-reprinted a few other staples like Solemn, High Market, Aura of Silence, Witness, Greaves....but I can't help but feel like there are a lot more that should have showed up...

Super low value for the most part. Lots of "wtf why is this here?" Rares. They played this REALLY lowkey. Damn... dat BFZ reverse power creep is spreading worse than Phyreixian oil. Definetly going to snipe singles. I was super excited with the mono color commander decks last year cuz all of them had value (at the time). But this time around... this is really really low. I mean thanks for the Phyrexia arena reprint. Should lower it for single purchase

We could have seen much more in the way of reprints. And so many rares and mythics for recent supplimentals. Jarad, Sun Titan and a bunch more were face cards recently.

Phyrexian Areana is nice and more sol rings and lightning greaves is good for the game, but wow I would be embarrassed to be reprinting coment storm again. And why isn't young pyromancer in the spells matter deck? That makes no sense.

This might be the first year I don't pick up a deck or two.

I wonder if there is a game at WOTC where they see how many pre cons they can stick Butcher of Malakir into. I am not sure who they are competing against but they are definitely winning.

It looks....okay. There's a few new cards I'm interested in but I think I will probably just buy singles. There's no big money cards in any of the decks. I was really hoping the B/W deck would have a few powerful enchantments from magic's past.

Three of the decks at least have Lightning Greaves in them. Always a good card to have multiples of.

Why does Terastodon have to be reprinted at every turn??

Pretty excited about Etherium-Horn Sorcerer - as I wasn't able to pick up the 2012 product.

And here I was going to come in and say how much I liked the look of these decks as far as nice reprints. *shrug* There are a fair number of very playable cards here that have been long out of print, in some cases never printed in the modern card frames at all. I'll be very happy to get my hands on these at MSRP.

I like (read: hate) how terrible WotC made the mana bases here. Vivid lands in two-color decks really isn't where you want to be. Would have been so bad for business to reprint a few worthwhile mana-fixing nonbasics? There aren't even pain lands!

Step your reprint game up, WotC.

I for one am actually fairly satisfied with them. Looks like we got lots of reprints, including Lightning Greaves, Eldrazi Monument, Eternal Witness, etc that were needed pretty badly. Wouldn't have minded seeing a higher value card and/or a portal reprint but o well.

At least it looks like we won't have another Mind Seize situation.

Yeah, you'd think with all of the other Theros block cards they threw in, they'd at least put the appropriate temple in each deck. It's not like there's a ton of value in them.
